Dorothy Mae Richardson: A Visionary

From the 1960s through the 1980s, Dorothy Mae Richardson created a new model of community development that centered on the rights of residents to safe, healthy and affordable homes. Her efforts led to founding the Neighborhood Housing Services of Pittsburgh, which then became the national model for our work and our network. In this memorial video, Dorothy's contemporary, the late Moe Coleman, describes her singular impact.
